Twestival , or Twitter Festival, was an idea which originated in London last year. Then, people who knew each other online through their Twitter communities organised a social event to raise money for local homeless charities. Yesterday, Twestival events were held around the world to benefit Charity: Water a non-profit organisation funding small scale water projects in developing world countries.
Birmingham Twestival was held at Poppy Red in The Arcadian. It was a very well attended event which has raised £1519. It also shows that when people meet online nowadays it has become a lot more natural to then meet up in real life, something that has also been evident in Birmingham with the success of the Social Media Cafe.
